Dramatic Elegance in Sound and Style: Pearl Music City Custom Reference Tom
Make a striking statement with the Pearl Music City Custom 14"x12" Reference Tom in luxurious Red Onyx finish (RF1412T/C403). This premium instrument exemplifies Pearl's commitment to American craftsmanship, with each shell precision CNC-drilled, expertly finished, and meticulously hand-assembled in Music City, USA. The substantial 14"x12" dimensions create a commanding voice with extended depth that delivers powerful low-end presence and remarkable projection, making it a centerpiece addition to any professional drum setup.
The sonic foundation of this impressive drum is Pearl's Reference Series shell technology, featuring a sophisticated 6-ply blended construction with 4 plies of premium maple and 2 plies of resonant mahogany. This 7.5mm shell configuration provides the perfect balance of attack and sustain, with the maple delivering crisp articulation while the mahogany adds warmth and depth. The fully-rounded bearing edge further enhances this tonal character by increasing head-to-shell contact for enhanced low-end response and extended sustain.
Professional features define every aspect of this instrument, from Pearl's premium Mastercast die-cast hoops that provide enhanced focus and projection to the innovative BRL bridge lugs with swivel function that ensure optimal tension rod alignment while minimizing shell contact. The sophisticated aluminum OptiMount suspension system effectively isolates the shell from hardware contact, allowing unrestricted vibration for superior sustain and tone. Wrapped in the mesmerizing Red Onyx finish that displays rich crimson tones with distinctive mineral-inspired patterns, this custom tom combines professional sound engineering with dramatic visual appeal, creating an instrument that performs as impressively as it looks.
